connection problem

[shortandirish]

So it was working great a couple of days ago, I got tons of results and it was dowloading everything at about 120 KB a sec (which is good for me at least), but now it doesn't come up with anything when I search for things, even if they were searches I've already run. When I enter a search it pops up a window that says "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network." It's been doing that for two days. I've tried everything I can think of such as restarting the computer and my internet connection disconnecting and reconnecting Limewire and even removing and redownloading Limewire, but nothing has helped. I would really like to continue using Limewire, but if it doesn't work, whats the point?
